 Luk 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

  The Earth Dwellers are caught in the snare

  Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

  The “Snare” is also called the “hour of temptation”

  Zec 5:3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

  The snare is a curse,

  2Ti_4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

 Those with itching ears recieve exactly what they want, false doctrine. False doctrine is judgement. This is very important to remember.

 Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

 Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

 Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

 Many references to “Them that dwell on the earth”

 Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

 Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

 Earth dwellers are the ones who worship the beast.

 Rev 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

 Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

 The 144000, first fruits, the barley, (harvested first) of the harvest are “redeemed from the earth”

 Rev 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

 Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

 Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

 Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

 Right now the harvest is underway. This is why we see seperation taking place in the House of God. The 144000 are preaching the true, everlasting gospel to the apostate church telling thme to “fear God”

 Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

  Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

 As they respond they “come out” of the Harlot church and join the remnant in the wilderness. The song that the 144000 learn is the truth, this is spread and as the multitude respond they “come out” and join the 144,000, the remnant. The 144000 are virgins because they are no longer partaking in the harlots iniquties.

  Isa 21:10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

  The threshing floor is deception. Deception is the tool God uses to separate his wheat from the tares. This process takes place on earth. The earth dwellers are seperated from those that are with Jesus on MT Sion, Jerusalem above. Gods sheep hear his voice, are not decieved, are not caught in the “snare”

  2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

  The snare is the strong delusion that God sends to “catch” if you will, those who “love not the truth”

  Jer 50:24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.

  The notion that God is the one who sets the snare is foreign to most modern Christians who are the ones ironically that are caught in the snare. This is due to the fact Christians fail to understand the true nature of God. They have been sold a phony gospel that doesn’t consider Gods severity.

  Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

  This leads us to the understanding of the Mark of the Beast itself.

  Joh 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.

  2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

  Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

  Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

  These 4 verses are all talking about the same thing. The doves in the Temple are the multitude. 2 Pet 2:3 “they make merchandise of you” Rev 13:17 no one may buy or sell, Rev 18 11 The merchants. (false shepards) weep and mourn. (because they are judged and damned) 2 Pet 2:3

  Deciding what to do with this message is actually the Mark of the Beast at work. When is it over? when is it too late? The marking is underway right now. The Mark of the Beast is a spiritual mark. The Serpents are the false teachers (forehead) the scorpions are the money changers (right hand) The Remnant Elect have the Mark of God on their forehead Rev 14 That leaves the multitudes.

  Joe 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

  The right hand represents our deeds, the forehead, our thoughts.

  Deut 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

  7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

  8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

  As Deut. 6:8 says, tie them as a sign (symbols) on your hands and bind them on your foreheads

  H2903–frontlets
to-faw-faw‘
From an unused root meaning to go around or bind; a fillet for the forehead: – frontlet.

  So the seal of God marks those who belong to HIM and the mark of the beast marks those who belong to the world system of Satan. Why won’t the Christian multitude be able to buy and sell (participate or to redeem, for they have already been purchased by the Lord)(the doves refuse to be merchandised) They will refuse to worship the beast/world system. If one is truly worshipping our Lord in Truth…they will know the difference. They had not participated in the worship of the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. These will reign and rule with Christ a thousand years.

  Rev 13-15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

  16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

  Satan is involved in trafficking and merchandising. (buy and sell)

  Ezekiel Chapter 28—

LuciferG59

 αyοράζω
agorazō
ag-or-ad‘-zo
From 58 properly to go to market, that is, (by implication) to purchase; specifically to redeem:– buy, redeem.

16 By the multitude of thy (((merchandise))) they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

 H7404–of thy merchandise

 G59–buy

G58
ag-or-ah‘
From

α

 ̓γείρω “ageiro” (to gather; probably akin to 1453 ; properly the town square (as a place of public resort); by implication a market or thoroughfare: – market (-place), street.

 G4453–sell

  po-leh‘-o
Probably ultimately from

  πέλομαι pelomai (to

 The purpose of the tribulation is the restore the aposate church.

  Zec 13:2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

 Zec 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

 The church during the tribulation is divided into 3 parts. 2 parts are cut off, 1 part is refined with fire. This process is about 1 thing, stripping the idols from the multitude. Gods judgement on his people is to remove the idols from their lives.

 Rev 16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

To understand what is coming study Jer 50 and 51 this is the account of the destruction of Babylon.

 Jer 51:17 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

 Jeremiah tells us that the lies we believe, false doctrine we hold onto are idols.

 1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
